"Very friendly.. They have a very nice spot in town.. There is a wonderful walkway into town.."

"The extent of my experience here is attending the "steak fry" and the "Veteran's Breakfast", of which I've done multiple times. The breakfast I give a C+. There is nothing outstanding about it. As of this writing, the cost is $6 per person and for vets it's free. The steak fry has been consistently very good to excellent. One strip sirloin steak(or chicken breast), baked potato, choice of green beans or pinto beans and a tossed salad. You also have a choice of ice water or iced tea. Pie is available for dessert at $2/slice. Take out containers are available at no extra charge. The service is excellent as is the meal. $15 for the steak dinner, $12 for the chicken."
